Notes Client Command-Line Options
September 3, 2002
Here are some command-line options you can use when starting the Notes client. Many of these were taken from docs in the Notes KB. Substitute the path for your Notes.exe file for "C:\Notes\Notes.exe" in the list below.
C:\Notes\Notes.exe =C:\Notes\MyNotes.ini Starts the client with an alternate INI file
C:\Notes\Notes.exe dbName.nsf Opens a specified local database when the client is started
C:\Notes\Notes.exe
server!!dbName.nsf
Opens a specified database on a specified server when the client is started
C:\Notes\Notes.exe doclink.ndl Opens a specified doclink when the client is started
C:\Notes\Notes.exe _URL_ Opens a specified web page when the client is started
C:\Notes\Notes.exe notes://... Opens a specified database, view, form, or document using its Notes URL when the client is started (*)
C:\Notes\Notes.exe _EMAIL_ Begins composing an e-mail to the specified address with the Notes mail client
C:\Notes\Notes.exe MAIL Opens the default mail database on the Notes client
C:\Notes\Notes.exe ADMINONLY Starts the Notes Admin client (R5+)
C:\Notes\Notes.exe /DESIGN Starts the Notes Designer client (R5+)
C:\Notes\Notes.exe /DEBUGGER Starts the Notes Remote Agent Debugger (R6+)
C:\Notes\Notes.exe /EMBEDDING Starts Notes as an OLE server
C:\Notes\Notes.exe /AUTOMATION Starts Notes minimized
(*) In Notes 6 and higher, the notes:// URL of a database, view, form, or document can be determined using the NotesURL property of the element when it's accessed in LotusScript as a NotesDatabase, NotesView, NotesForm, or NotesDocument. If you want to construct a notes:// URL manually, it's of the structure:
You can leave the server name blank (so the protocol starts with notes:///) if you want to access a local database, view, etc.
Reporting a Bug in Notes
September 5, 2002
The LDD site has a downloadable form you can use if you want to report a bug in Notes. However, the form is in WordPro format, and I know that lots of people (even us Notes users) don't have SmartSuite handy. Well I do, so I converted the form to MS Word format, in case that's better for you. Please visit the link above for instructions.

Modifying $FormulaClass in Views
September 8, 2002
I mentioned this in one of my blog entries, but I figured it should live here in the Tips section, too. The $FormulaClass field in a view determines what types of documents show up in the view. Normally, the documents that show up are regular note documents, although if you modify the $FormulaClass field in the right way, you can also make design elements show up in your view.
All this is described quite well in the Fun with $FormulaClass article by Dan Velasco that appeared in DominoPower Magazine a few years back. There were a couple of holes in his $FormulaClass values, and if you do a little looking in the Notes API, you'll notice that the $FormulaClass values correspond to the NOTE_CLASS values in the NSFNOTE.H file. Here are the values from that header file (in hex and decimal -- use the decimal value in your view), along with their header file comments:
Note Class TypeHex ValueDecimal ValueComments
NOTE_CLASS_DOCUMENT0x00011document note
NOTE_CLASS_INFO0x00022notefile info (help-about) note
NOTE_CLASS_FORM0x00044form note

NOTE_CLASS_ALLNONDATA0x7ffe32,766all non-data notes
NOTE_CLASS_NONE0x00000no notes
Getting Default Elements in the Database
September 16, 2002
An interesting corollary to the tip above is that you can use a modification of the NOTE_CLASS type values to get some of the default items in a database. Here's a list, followed by an explanation:
Note IDDatabase Element
FFFF0002"About This Database" document
FFFF0004Default form
FFFF0008Default view
FFFF0010Database icon
FFFF0020Database Design Collection (view)
FFFF0040Database ACL
FFFF0100"Using This Database" document
FFFF0800Replication Formula
You'll notice that the last 4 numbers of the Note IDs are the hex values of the corresponding design elements in the previous tip. What's neat about this (and it makes sense if you think about it) is that these Note IDs are the same for every Notes database, so if you call:
db.GetDocumentByID("FFFF0002")
you will always get the "About This Database" document, if one exists. Now, getting some of these elements as Notes documents may not do you a whole lot of good on the surface, but some of them hold interesting qualities (as coding superhero Rod Whiteley mentions in this post on LDD, the database icon can hold many strange and random bits of information -- search for the "Icon note item names" section in STDNAMES.H).
Notes Debug Flags
October 2, 2002 (updated October 16, 2002)
A few years ago, this post on the Notes.net forum (now the LDD forum) outlined a way to pull all the debug flags from the various Notes DLL and EXE files. Virtually all of these flags are undocumented and some may not be useful at all, but it's pretty neat information anyway.
The original post used a PERL script to extract the information, and I played around a little to see if there was an easy way to batch the process, since I didn't have PERL installed on my machine. Here's what I did:
1. Go to the SysInternals site and download the STRINGS.EXE program (I think it's listed as a "Miscellaneous" application)
2. Copy STRINGS.EXE to your Notes program directory
3. Run the following commands at the DOS prompt, from the Notes program directory:
 strings -a *.exe | find "DEBUG" > nDebug.txt
 strings -a *.dll | find "DEBUG" >> nDebug.txt
The resulting file (nDebug.txt) should give you the same debug flags as the PERL script does, plus a couple extra ones (the PERL script actually searches for "DEBUG_", and I searched for "DEBUG"). Again, most of these flags are totally undocumented, so all you can do with the resulting list is experiment. The DRC Consulting site may have some information to help you out -- there's a good list of NOTES.INI settings there.
(Updated text) I've tried this with both the "findstr" command (on Windows NT/2000) and the "find" command, which should be equivalent in this case. It looks like "find" produces more results on my NT box. I have no idea why.
Exporting Notes Documents and Rich Text Fields in RTF Format
October 23, 2002 (updated January 1, 2004)
Here's a database I wrote with some code that allows you to export the information in a Notes rich text field to an RTF file, while retaining most or all of the rich text field formatting. It also demonstrates how to write multiple things to a single RTF file (including multiple rich text fields), if that's something you're interested in doing. Additionally, the techniques involved should allow you to export rich text fields that are greater than 64k in size.
UPDATE: on January 1, 2004 I added functionality to allow you to export an entire Notes document to an RTF file, in addition to just exporting the individual fields. Please be aware that Notes doesn't always do a good job

The month of January saw the highest number of rainy days in one month on record in Israel, according figures from the Israel Meteorological Service.
Rain fell on 29 out of 31 days in January, defined by the Meteorological Service as registering at least 0.1 millimeters of rainfall.
After a careful comparison of January statistics from measuring stations across Israel, the Meteorological Service found that in most of the northern part of the country there were at least 26 days of rainfall, compared to the previous record of 25 in January 1947.
In Nahariyya, and in the Galilee region, there were 29 rainy days. This is higher than past records. January 1969 saw 24 days of rainfall, as did February 1992. These years saw some of the highest levels of rainfall since records began.

9. Visitors Can Still Experience Remnants Of The Billings Mansion
Although C.K.G. Billings' mansion burned to the ground in the 1920s, Rockefeller salvaged the remaining structure and incorporated it into the park design. The massive structure which survived the fire is known as the Billings Arcade – a 50-foot arched structure which was the original driveway that meanders up the hill to the estate. It is part of a 1,600 foot long brick driveway that leads to the mansion through the Billings gatehouse – another surviving fragment renamed as the Fort Tryon Cottage.

Meet Tribe With Most Beautiful Women in Africa, They Don't Bath Because Of What Will Happen to Them
There is a tribe from Angola which have the most beautiful village women in Africa according to tourists. The Himba tribe are the indigenous people of Namibia and Kunen, they live on the northern side of the country, and on the other side of the Kunene in southern Angola too. They have approximately 50,000 people in the village.
In this tribe, there are some other groups still residing in the village who are regarded as OvaTwa groups, they are called hunter-gatherers as well as OvaHimba.
The Himba Community speaks in Otjihimba language known as the Bantu dialect of Herero. Although English is the official language of Namibia but the Himba rarely speak in English, only small amount of English is used in their Omuhongan schools.
Both men and women from this tribe love wearing their traditional dresses. Men usually wear clothes and footwear sandals, they also wear with foot soles often found in old car tyres, because men and boys tend to lead cattles in the bushes all day long. However, the woman roam about the village with skirts made from goat skin.
They are most famous for their wives' natural beauty, attracting numerous tourists and journalists who have praised their amazing beauty.
Despite the fact that they don't bath with water it hasn't stop them from maintaining their natural beauty. One of the reasons why the people of Himba do not bath with water is because they live in one of the most extreme surroundings on earth.
The harsh weather condition and the desert climate, coupled with the lack of clean water prevents them from a 'normal' water bath.
Meanwhile, their refusal to take a bath did not affect their personal hygiene. Members of the tribe use red ochers on the skin and take part in a daily smoke bath to maintain their beauty and good hygiene.
What's your opinion about this beautiful tribe? let's hear your opinion

Remove the black line surrounding text in opencv
asked 2019-06-06 09:08:05 -0500
I am trying to remove the black lines surrounding the text if present any. My purpose is to just have enough portion of the image to extract each character in it. The additional black lines are noise when i am trying to extract characters.
I have tried using floodfill in opencv but the image contains some white pixels before the black line starts in the upper left corner. So it hasn't been fruitful. I tried cropping by means of finding contours but even that does not work. This is the original image
Original Image
import cv2
import numpy as np
img = cv2.imread('./Cropped/22.jpg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
_,thresh = cv2.threshold(gray,1,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY)
contours,hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
cnt = contours[0]
crop = img[y:y+h,x:x+w]
cv2.imshow('Cropped Image',crop)
and using floodfill
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
 # threshold the gray image to binarize, and negate it
 gray = cv2.bitwise_not(gray)
 bw = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(gray, 255, cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C, \
 cv2.THRESH_BINARY, 15, -2)
 # find external contours of all shapes
 contours,h = cv2.findContours(bw, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
 # create a mask for floodfill function, see documentation
 h,w,_ = img.shape
 mask = np.zeros((h+2,w+2), np.uint8)
 # determine which contour belongs to a square or rectangle
 for cnt in contours:
 poly = cv2.approxPolyDP(cnt, 0.02*cv2.arcLength(cnt,True),True)
 if len(poly) == 4:
 # if the contour has 4 vertices then floodfill that contour with black color
 cnt = np.vstack(cnt).squeeze()
 _,binary,_,_ = cv2.floodFill(bw, mask, tuple(cnt[0]), 0)
 # convert image back to original color
 binary = cv2.bitwise_not(binary)
 cv2.imshow('Image', binary)
results in the two cases are as follows
Using Find Contours method
But there appears to be no change. And this using floodfill
Using floodfill. which does not remove any borders.
If any can please help out,it will be really great.

OpenCV's contours will work if you filter the contours by aspect ratio. In the image below the 2nd from the left is thresholded at about 150 using binaryInverse type thresholding. There is a function called boundingRect that will give the upright rect of a contour. Define the contour aspect ratio as rect.width / rect.height and only keep contours with AR < 1 since numbers are tall. This gives the 3rd image from the left. The last is just inverted.

As we increasingly rely on digital payment methods, keeping track of transactions can be a daunting task. Fortunately, Apple has made it easier for users to monitor their expenses by introducing Apple Pay. This contactless payment system offers a seamless and secure way to make purchases.
However, to gain even more control over your financial data, you can import Apple Pay transactions into a spreadsheet or a financial tracking app. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up Shortcut Automations to import your Apple Pay transactions, allowing you to take charge of your financial records with ease.
Before diving into the intricacies of importing Apple Pay transactions, let's briefly discuss what Apple Pay is. Apple Pay is a digital payment service offered by Apple that allows users to make secure transactions using their iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads, or Macs. Instead of using physical credit or debit cards, users can link their cards to Apple Pay, making payments with just a tap or a glance.
You might be wondering, "Why should I bother exporting my Apple Pay transactions?" Well, there are several compelling reasons:
While Apple Pay provides a convenient way to pay for goods and services, it has limitations when it comes to transaction history. Apple Pay typically stores transaction data for a limited time, which may not be sufficient for users who want to maintain comprehensive financial records.
By exporting your Apple Pay transactions, you gain the ability to generate detailed financial reports. This can be especially useful for budgeting, tax purposes, or simply gaining insights into your spending habits.
Importing your Apple Pay transactions into a spreadsheet or financial tracking app allows you to consolidate all your financial data in one place. This unified experience makes it easier to manage your finances holistically.
Exporting your transaction data gives you more control over your financial information. You can choose how and where your data is stored and who has access to it, enhancing your privacy and security.
Now that we've established the benefits of exporting your Apple Pay transactions, let's get started with the process. We'll cover how to import to Numbers (Apple's spreadsheet application).
Numbers is a versatile spreadsheet application available on Apple devices. Follow these steps to import your Apple Pay transactions into Numbers:
Open Numbers and create a new document where you'll import your Apple Pay transactions.
Shortcut Automations is a powerful tool in iOS that allows you to automate tasks. To set up an automation to import your Apple Pay transactions:
- Open the Shortcuts app on your device.
- Create a new shortcut by tapping the "+" button.
- Use the "Get Latest Apple Pay Transactions" action to fetch your recent transactions.
- Add actions to format the data as needed, such as splitting transaction details into separate columns.
- Use the "Add Row to Table" action to add each transaction to your Numbers spreadsheet.
- Set the automation to run at your desired interval (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).
With your transactions imported, you can customize your Numbers spreadsheet to suit your financial tracking needs. You can add categories, create charts, and generate reports based on your imported data.
Importing your Apple Pay transactions into a spreadsheet or financial tracking app is a practical way to gain better control over your finances. Whether you choose to use Numbers for a straightforward solution or MoneyCoach for a more comprehensive financial management experience, taking the time to set up these import processes can be immensely beneficial in the long run. By doing so, you'll be better equipped to make informed financial decisions and achieve your financial goals. So, get started today and take charge of your financial future with Apple Pay transactions import!

Italian dig uncovers "oldest" temple in Cyprus
NICOSIA (Reuters) - An Italian archaeologist says she has discovered what is believed to be the oldest site of religious worship in Cyprus, a temple which is about 4,000 years old.
The find at the Pyrgos-Mavroraki site close to the southern city of Limassol predates any other discoveries in Cyprus by about 1,000 years, Italian archaeologist Maria Rosaria Belgiorno said.
"This is the first evidence of religion in Cyprus at the beginning of the second millennium BC," she was quoted as telling the Cyprus Weekly newspaper from Rome.
The Cyprus Antiquities Department said further examination would be required before the find could be verified. "We cannot dismiss the claim but we cannot verify it either," Antiquities Department official Maria Hadjicosti told Reuters.
Belgiorno said she had found the outline of a triangular-shaped temple, comprised of two rooms, on the site. There was a sacrificial altar flanked by a channel on two sides.
"We found no statues, but there is evidence that it is a monotheistic temple," she said. It was probably destroyed in an earthquake and abandoned in 1800 BC.
In ancient religions, triangles typified spiritual gateways or embodied three separate deities.
In the past, the Pyrgos-Mavroraki site has also yielded finds ranging from an ancient perfumery to one of the earliest records of how olive oil was used to fire furnaces.

How much does it cost to bowl per person?
The cost of bowling one game is usually $2 to $5 per person. You also need to rent bowling shoes or bring your own shoes with you. The cost of a shoe rental is usually between $3 and $6. Prices vary seasonally and are more expensive during the winter season.
Why is bowling so expensive?
Bowling alleys consume power to operate all of the equipment, so some of the bowling price goes towards that. Bowling also isn't as popular as it was 30 years ago. Less people are going bowling. To maintain a profit with less consumers, the prices need to go up.
Do u have to wear bowling shoes?
YES YOU DO. Bowling shoes are needed for safety first and performance second. Your shoes need to be clean with a smooth sole to allow you and all the other bowlers to walk up toward the pins and swing your ball into the lane without sticking or tripping on anything. Street shoes won't do this.
How long is a game of bowling for 2?
It takes the average person about ten minutes to bowl one complete game. For each additional person playing, it takes another ten minutes. So a game of bowling for two should last about twenty minutes.
How long does a game of bowling last?
On average, it takes 10 minutes per person to bowl a single game. If you have a group of 5-6 people, it would, for example take them approximately 50-60 minutes to complete ONE game.
How many games can you bowl in an hour?
How many games can we bowl in an hour? One game can average about 10 minutes per player depending on the time between bowlers. The average bowler at Humdingers takes about 15-20 minutes to bowl one game.
Is bowling an expensive hobby?
No. In general, bowling, whether for sport or fun is not expensive when compared to other sports like ballet, dance, football or swimming. Bowling can even be even more inexpensive if you play a lot and you buy your own shoes. Bowling doesn't have to be expensive if you just want to go on occasion and have fun.
What happens if you don't wear bowling shoes?
Bowling shoes protect the lanes Street shoe dirt and debris can muddy up the lanes and make them less slick, which would affect your game and require additional cleanup time on the part of the bowling alley staff.
What shoes are OK for bowling?
You are not required to wear shoes that slide, you just have to wear shoes that are used exclusively for bowling. Some bowlers, even a few professionals, prefer not to slide and wear tennis shoes (again, tennis shoes they use only for bowling).
Can I bring my own bowling shoes?
Sure you can bring your own bowling shoes to a bowling alley. The APPROACH WOOD must be protected. Consequently, BOWLING SHOES ONLY must be worn on the Approaches. The Shoes provided at a Bowling Alley are adequate.

After naming Oshiwara, an upcoming railway station in the Western line of Mumbai suburban railway to Ram Mandir, the Maharashtra government passed a resolution to change the name of Elphinstone Road railway station to Prabhadevi.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Shiv Sena leaders and residents of the Elphinstone locality had demanded the change in the name, according to Firstpost. Meanwhile the details for the change in name have been sent to the Ministry of Railways in Delhi.
Apart from renaming the Elphinstone Road, Chief Minister has also proposed renaming of two other places, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
The station is currently named after John Elphinstone, 13th Lord Elphinstone, The Governor of Bombay during British Era from 1853 to 1860. And the Prabhadevi temple which is situated in the vicinity was built about 300 years ago and is significant to the city's history. The Mumbai International Airport was earlier known as Sahara International Airport and renamed to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in 1999, whereas the government had renamed the Victoria Terminus to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in 1996.
Various political parties have demanded that the names of three Mumbai suburban railway stations be also changed. They are Dadar railway station to Chaityabhumi, Grant Road railway station to August Kranti and Charni Road railway station to Gaondevi.

Tensile Fabric Structures in UAE
Results 1 - 19 of 19
About Tensile Fabric Structures
Designing of interesting roof forms have become possible with the use of tensile fabric structures in UAE. These structures have been used in buildings since 1970s. Today they are used to give dramatic forms to architectural works. They offer variety to roofing forms in terms of translucency, colour, clear span and softness. Tensile fabric structures are lightweight and can be created into three dimensional forms by applying tension. Tensile structures are usually supported by as masts, rings or beams which work as compression or bending elements. These structures are resistant to fire, rain, sun and wind. They are also resistant to damage caused by blunt objects, but not to sharp ones.

Deeper Darkness
School evocation [darkness]; Level cleric 3
Duration 10 min./level (D)
This spell functions as darkness, except that objects radiate darkness in a 60-foot radius and the light level is lowered by two steps. Bright light becomes dim light and normal light becomes darkness. Areas of dim light and darkness become supernaturally dark. This functions like darkness, but even creatures with darkvision cannot see within the spell's confines.
This spell does not stack with itself. Deeper darkness can be used to counter or dispel any light spell of equal or lower spell level.

Demonstrate Clipping Plane in WPF 3D
Introduction
I recently needed to brush up on WPF and had the idea of adding a Clipping Plane to Rod Stephens' excellent WPF Menger Sponge. While I was at it, I added some other features which I will describe via the following links:
 1. Clipping Plane
 2. Axes
 3. Lighting
 4. Textures
 5. Progress Bar
 6. Menu Bar
Download and Build
Download the MengerSpongeClipping.zip file and extract it. Open the MengerSpongeClipping project with Visual Studio. Build it by pressing F6; the project should build successfully with no errors. Press F5 to run the MengerSpongeClipping project in debug mode.
Using the Code
To clip the Menger Sponge, simply click the "Clip" button. You can orient the clipping plane using the sliders as illustrated in the above image. You can rotate the clipping plane about the x, y, or z axes using the "Rotate Plane" Sliders, and you can translate it along the x, y, or z axes using "Translate Plane" sliders. For this version, the Clipping Plane is assumed to be infinite in all directions, so the translation is for demonstration purposes and does not affect the actual clipping. (In a future version, I plan on having the clipping algorithm assume a finite Clipping Plane, and therefore take into account the translation of the Clipping Plane, so parts of the Sponge that are outside are not clipped.) The positive side of the Clipping Plane is an opaque green; the negative side is an opaque blue.
Clipping Plane
My implementation of the clipping plane is simple: the distance from the plane to each rectangle center is computed, and rectangles with distance values less than zero (that is, behind the opaque blue side) are discarded. The method DrawClippingPlane() performs the following steps:
 1. Rotate the Clipping Plane
 2. Translate the Clipping Plane
 3. Get the transformed coordinates of the Clipping Plane
 4. Determine Equation of the Clipping Plane in the form Ax + By + Cz + D = 0
The method DistanceFromPlaneToPoint() uses the Equation of the Clipping Plane to determine the distance to the rectangle's center. The method RemoveClippedRectangles() (described below) computes the distance and removes clipped rectangles from RectanglesMade. The method DrawClippedSponge() (also described below) redraws the Menger Sponge.
Axes
I used Mr. Stephens' WPF Cylinder code to draw the x, y, z axes. You can toggle them on and off by pressing the "A" (the Axis Toggle Key), or by using "View" from the Menu Bar. To label the axes, I used Eric Sink's fantastic CreateTextLabel3D() method; I added another parameter, a Transform3DGroup transform. See TextLabel3D.cs for details.
Lighting
In WPF (and DirectX and OpenGL), a directional light is a light that projects its effect along a specified vector. The Vector3D lightVector1, Vector3D lightVector2, Color lightColor1 and Color lightColor2 are inputs to the DirectionalLight() constructor. Since it can sometimes be hard to visualize where the light is pointing by specifying a vector, I used Mr. Stephens' WPF Cone code to draw "flashlights" (a flashlight is known as a torch in the UK) that shows where the directional light is pointing. There are two directional lights named appropriately enough Light 1 and Light 2. The flashlights are disabled (not displayed) by default for clarity. To enable (display) them, press the "F" key (the Flashlight Toggle Key) or use "View" from the Menu Bar. Whether the flashlights are enabled or not does not affect the actual lighting; in other words, they are only used for making the lighting vectors easier to visualize.
You can experiment with the two lights by setting the sliders for the direction vectors and combo box for the colors. If you select "None" from the colors combo box, the corresponding DirectionalLight() is turned off, and the flashlight is displayed in wireframe code supplied by Mr. Stephens. (I spent some time trying to use 3D Tools wireframe, but to no avail.) In the illustration below, I've enabled the flashlights, zoomed out a little (using the minus key) and disabled the Clipping Plane (for clarity) by pressing the "P" key (the Clipping Plane Toggle Key). Next, I set the direction vectors as shown, set Light 1 (in the background) to blue and Light 2 (in the foreground) to red. Note how the red light illuminates the X and Z faces of the Menger Sponge to red, and the Y face is a shade of purple due to the combination of blue and red:
MengerSpongeLighting1
In the next illustration, after I rotate the scene 195 degrees using the arrow keys (note how theta goes from 60° to 255°), and tilt it from phi=30 degrees to phi=40 degrees, the effect of the Light 1, the blue light (now in the foreground) can be seen illuminating the -X and -Z faces of the Menger Sponge to blue:
MengerSpongeLighting 2
Textures
You can add textures to the Menger Sponge by selecting an image file from the "Texture" combo box as shown below. In order to use this feature, you first need to modify app.config to point to the image files, for example:
<setting name="ImageFileLocation" serializeAs="String">
 <value>C:\MyProjects\MengerSponge\MengerSpongeClipping\MengerSpongeClipping\Images\</value>
</setting>
The code for this is from yet another useful article by Mr. Stephens on textures.
MengerSpongeTexture
WPF Progress Bar
Since the number of rectangles drawn is determined by the SpongeDepth, I added a WPF Progress Bar to show the progress of re-drawing the clipped Menger Sponge, as illustrated below. The code demonstrates the use of a BackgroundWorker object. To get the full effect if you're running on a fast machine, you might want to run the program in Debug mode by pressing F5 since there is some console output in debug mode which slows the process somewhat.
MengerSpongeProgressBar
When you click the "Clip" button, the BtnClip_Click() callback creates the BackgroundWorker object in order to perform the clipping operation on a separate thread. Note the use of Dispatcher.Invoke in RemoveClippedRectangles() which is needed since the method DrawClippedSponge() accesses the spongeMesh object which is owned by a different thread. The method RemoveClippedRectangles() calculates the progress.
The Menu Bar has "File", "View" and "Help" menu items. "File->Save As..." allows you to save your settings to a text file, and "File->Open" allows you to retrieve them. File->Reset will reset the Clipping Plane rotations and translations, Camera movements, lighting settings, and textures to their initial values (as will pressing the Escape key). "View" allows you to toggle the Axes, Clipping Plane, Sponge, and Plane Normal. You can also use the "A", "P", "S", and "N" toggle keys, respectively. Since the Plane Normal is small (a unit vector), you will have to turn off the Sponge (and Axes, if the Plane Normal is aligned with an axis) in order to see it.

NengoDL allows Keras models to be integrated directly into a NengoDL network, through the use of nengo_dl.TensorNode (see this example). However, rather than keeping a model defined in Keras/TensorFlow, sometimes we may want to convert it to a native Nengo model (composed only of Nengo objects, such as nengo.Ensemble and nengo.Connection). One reason we might want to do this is if we want to be able to run the model on different Nengo backends. Keras models can only run in the NengoDL Simulator, but a native Nengo model can run in any Nengo Simulator (including backends for specialized neuromorphic hardware). Another reason we might want to convert a Keras model to a Nengo network is so that we can use Nengo's spiking neuron types rather than the standard Keras/TensorFlow activation functions.
Whatever the motivation, the nengo_dl.Converter tool is designed to automate the translation from Keras to Nengo as much as possible. To use it, simply instantiate a Keras model and then pass it to the Converter:
inp = tf.keras.Input(shape=(28, 28, 3))
conv = tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(filters=32, kernel_size=3, activation=tf.nn.relu)(inp)
flat = tf.keras.layers.Flatten()(conv)
dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=10, activation=tf.nn.relu)(flat)
model = tf.keras.Model(inputs=inp, outputs=dense)
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(model)
The Converter object will have a.net attribute which is the converted Nengo network. This can then be passed to a Nengo Simulator. For example, we could run that converted Keras network in the standard Nengo (not NengoDL) Simulator:
with nengo.Simulator( as sim:
The converter also has.inputs and.outputs attributes which can be used to look up the Nengo Nodes/Probes corresponding to the Keras model inputs/outputs. For example, to see the output of the converted network:
nengo_dl.Converter has many options that control different aspects of the conversion process. For example, we could change all the tf.nn.relu activation functions in the Keras model to spiking neurons:
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(
 model, swap_activations={tf.nn.relu: nengo.SpikingRectifiedLinear()})
We will not go into all the available options here; see the API docs for more details.
Keep in mind that the Converter is designed to automate the translation process as much as possible, but it will not work for all possible Keras networks. In general, the Converter will fall back to using TensorNodes for any elements that cannot be converted to native Nengo objects (set allow_fallback=False if you would like this to be an error instead). The Converter.verify function can be used to check that the output of the Nengo network matches the output of the Keras model.
Extending the converter
Since we know that it will not be possible to automatically translate all possible Keras models, the Converter has been designed to be easily extensible. So if you have a model containing elements that the Converter does not know how to translate, you can augment the Converter with custom conversion logic.
For example, suppose we have a model containing a custom Keras layer:
class AddOne(tf.keras.layers.Layer):
 def call(self, inputs):
 return inputs + 1
inp = tf.keras.Input(shape=(1,))
dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=10)(inp)
addone = AddOne()(dense)
model = tf.keras.Model(inputs=inp, outputs=addone)
Converter would fail to convert this model to native Nengo objects, since it does not know how to translate the AddOne layer:
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(model, allow_fallback=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
TypeError: Unable to convert layer add_one to native Nengo objects
We could set allow_fallback=True to use a TensorNode to implement the AddOne layer, but suppose we want to use native Nengo objects instead. We need to make a custom nengo_dl.converter.LayerConverter subclass, which contains the logic for translating an AddOne layer. Note that this may require some knowledge of how Keras layers work under the hood, which is not extensively documented. Your best bet may be to look at the existing LayerConverter classes to find a similar Layer type to start from.
As an example, here is how we might translate the AddOne layer:
class ConvertAddOne(nengo_dl.converter.LayerConverter):
 def convert(self, node_id):
 # create a Nengo object representing the output of this layer node
 output = self.add_nengo_obj(node_id)
 # connect up the input of the layer node
 self.add_connection(node_id, output)
 # create a node to output a constant 1 vector
 bias = nengo.Node([1] * output.size_in)
 # connect up the bias node to the output (thereby adding one to the
 # input values)
 conn = nengo.Connection(bias, output, synapse=None)
 # mark the above connection as non-trainable (since we didn't have any
 # trainable parameters in the AddOne layer, we don't want any in the
 # converted Nengo equivalent either)
 self.set_trainable(conn, False)
 return output
And now if we try to convert the original Keras model, we can see that it is successfully transformed into a native Nengo network:
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(model, allow_fallback=False)
assert converter.verify()

text: The finite-element method (FEM) was applied to analyze the vibration (inherent and the harmonic frequencies) of wine glasses (glass harp) as a musical instrument. FEM analysis for this problem was proven appropriate by confirming the coincidence between the experimental and analyzed inherent frequencies for several glass cups with different shapes. When using wine glasses as musical instruments, minute arrangement of the pitch is necessary. Even today, this is done by filling a certain quantity of water in the wine glasses. This method, however, is very troublesome because each time, just before a performance, a check has to be made to confirm that the correct water quantity had been filled in every vessel. Compounding the problem, the pitch sometimes changes during the performance because of water evaporation. In place of this water-filling method, minute pitch changes have been achieved by locally shaving a bottom part of each vessel. The pitch is found to decrease in proportion to the shaved glass quantity. The relationship between the shaved glass quantity and the changed pitch has been clarified experimentally and analytically through FEM analysis. With this procedure, the desired pitch can be obtained.

How to Color and Style the Console Output
Symfony 6.0 is backed by SensioLabs.
How to Color and Style the Console Output
By using colors in the command output, you can distinguish different types of output (e.g. important messages, titles, comments, etc.).
By default, the Windows command console doesn't support output coloring. The Console component disables output coloring for Windows systems, but if your commands invoke other scripts which emit color sequences, they will be wrongly displayed as raw escape characters. Install the Cmder, ConEmu, ANSICON, Mintty (used by default in GitBash and Cygwin) or Hyper free applications to add coloring support to your Windows command console.
Using Color Styles
Whenever you output text, you can surround the text with tags to color its output. For example:
// green text
// yellow text
// black text on a cyan background
// white text on a red background
The closing tag can be replaced by , which revokes all formatting options established by the last opened tag.
It is possible to define your own styles using the Symfony\Component\Console\Formatter\OutputFormatterStyle class:
use Symfony\Component\Console\Formatter\OutputFormatterStyle;
//...
$outputStyle = new OutputFormatterStyle('red', '_TAG_', ['bold', 'blink']);
$output->getFormatter()->setStyle('fire', $outputStyle);
Any hex color is supported for foreground and background colors. Besides that, these named colors are supported: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, gray, bright-red, bright-green, bright-yellow, bright-blue, bright-magenta, bright-cyan and bright-white.
If the terminal doesn't support true colors, the nearest named color is used. E.g. _TAG_ is degraded to red or _TAG_ is degraded to yellow.
And available options are: bold, underscore, blink, reverse (enables the "reverse video" mode where the background and foreground colors are swapped) and conceal (sets the foreground color to transparent, making the typed text invisible - although it can be selected and copied; this option is commonly used when asking the user to type sensitive information).
You can also set these colors and options directly inside the tag name:
// green text
// red text
// black text on a cyan background
// bold text on a yellow background
// bold text with underscore
If you need to render a tag literally, escape it with a backslash: \ or use the escape() method to escape all the tags included in the given string.

Ethiopia launching national youth volunteer service program
August 8,2018
The Ethiopian government is launching what is poised to become Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's flagship program of "trans-boundary volunteers."
With this program, youth volunteers are to serve outside of their respective ethnic-based Federal states, seemingly which is why it is named "trans-boundary", in the country.
1000 graduating students drawn from different parts of Ethiopia are taking part in the program which is commencing today. And volunteer youth are to get credit for their participation when they are looking for employment after graduation.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met with the volunteers today before they are deployed to where they are assigned.
"When you serve the community as volunteers, you also need to learn and acquire knowledge as well," the prime minister told the volunteers. He meant to emphasize that there is knowledge in the community outside of university and other institutions of higher learning.
Apart from providing new graduates with relevant work experience, the motive of the program is to foster what the government describes as "people to people relation" and national feeling.
Ethiopia has a history of mobilizing youth for volunteer work in the community. Soon after the Ethiopian Revolution in 1974, Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam's government embarked on a nationwide illiteracy eradication program by deploying hundreds of thousands of youth in the countryside in different parts of the country to provide basic education. The program was successful so much so that illiteracy was significantly reduced in the country.
Although Abiy Ahmed's initiative in launching the program seems to be positive and perhaps a move in the right direction, especially if the program is given Ethiopian character as opposed to practices in the west, the political situation in the country could prove difficult to achieve the goals of the program.
This past week, for example, there has been an organized ethnic-based violence in Jijiga and other nearby towns, South Eastern parts of Ethiopia, where more than 29 people were killed and more than 10 churches were burned. Seen from that angle, it is questionable if it is the right time.

The Knotting of Equilateral Polygons in R-cubed
It was proved in that the knotting probability of a Gaussian random polygon goes to 1 as the length of the polygon goes to infinity. In this paper, we prove the same result for the equilateral random polygons in R3. More precisely, if EPn is an equilateral random polygon of n steps, then we have
P(EPn is knotted) > 1 - exp(-n∊)
provided that n is large enough, where ∊ is some positive constant.

Respected and renowned brands known for their unwavering commitment to quality typically come with premium price tags. Manufacturers with a history of producing reliable agricultural equipment are preferred by Pakistani farmers.
Size and Capacity
The size and capacity of the disc plough play a significant role in determining its price. Larger ploughs with higher capacity are more expensive due to their ability to cover more land in less time.
Material and Durability
The materials used in the construction of a disc plough affect its longevity. Ploughs made from high-quality materials tend to have a higher initial cost but can offer better value in the long run.
Disc plows may come with extra features like adjustable blade angles, depth control, and hydraulic systems. These features can increase the price but also enhance performance.
Popular Brands in Pakistan
Several brands have gained the trust of Pakistani farmers, including Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and John Deere. These brands offer a wide range of disc ploughs to suit different needs and budgets.
Why Quality Matters?
Quality is a paramount consideration when it comes to choosing a disc plough for your agricultural needs in Pakistan. The importance of quality cannot be overstated, as it directly impacts the efficiency and effectiveness of your farming operations. A high-quality disc plough is not only more durable but also ensures that the soil is properly tilled and prepared for planting. It helps in burying crop residues and weeds deep into the ground, creating an optimal seedbed for your crops.
Quality ploughs are less prone to breakdowns, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Moreover, they contribute to higher crop yields and overall farm productivity, making them a wise long-term investment. In the challenging and diverse agricultural landscape of Pakistan, where soil conditions can vary significantly, choosing a quality disc plough is essential for achieving consistent and successful results in your farming endeavours.
Maintenance Tips for Disc Ploughs
Maintaining your disc plough is crucial to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Here are some essential maintenance tips to keep your disc plough in top shape:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean your disc plough thoroughly. Remove any soil, debris, and crop residues that may have accumulated on the plough's components. Pay special attention to the disc blades, coulters, and bearings.
- Inspect for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect all parts of the disc plow for signs of wear and tear. Check for bent or damaged disc blades, worn-out bearings, and loose bolts or nuts. Swiftly replace or repair any components showing signs of wear and tear to maintain optimal performance.
- Lubrication: Proper lubrication is key to preventing friction and corrosion. Lubricate moving parts such as pivot points, bearings, and joints regularly. Use the recommended lubricants specified in the manufacturer's guidelines.
- Blade Maintenance: The disc blades are critical for effective plowing. Maintain their sharpness by either sharpening or replacing them when necessary. Dull blades can result in uneven tillage and increased fuel consumption.
- Hydraulic System Check: If your disc plough has a hydraulic system, inspect it for leaks and proper functioning. Ensure that hydraulic hoses and connections are in good condition. Timely attention to hydraulic problems is essential to proactively safeguard your equipment from potential damage.

Background: Melasma, which is fairly common in Indians, causes significant emotional and psychological impact. A Hindi instrument would be useful to assess the impact of melasma on the quality of life in Indian patients. Objective: To create a semantic equivalent of the original MELASQOL questionnaire in Hindi and validate it. Methods: A Hindi adaptation of the original MELASQOL (Hi-MELASQOL) was prepared using previously established guidelines. After pre-testing, the Hi-MELASQOL questionnaire was administered to 100 women with melasma visiting the out-patient registration counter of Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi. These women were also administered a Hindi equivalent of the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) questionnaire. Melasma area severity index (MASI) of all the participants was calculated. Results: The mean MASI score was 20.0 ± 7.5 and Hi-MELASQOL score was 37.19 ± 18.15; both were highly, positively and significantly correlated. Reliability analysis showed satisfactory results. Physical health, emotional well-being and social life were the most adversely affected life domains. Limitations: It was a single-center study and the number of patients studied could have been larger. Conclusion: Hi-MELASQOL is a reliable and validated tool to measure the quality of life in Indians with melasma.

Merging dictionaries within powershell
I needed to join dictionaries from within a list together, so that they become one whole dictionary.
First I thought it may be a trivial task. Than I used google and realized, that everything on the first page was just wrong or impracticable for lists with unknown size.
What I found, was stuff like:
$a = @{"foo"=1}
$b = @{"bar"=2}
$c = @($a,$b) | ForEach-Object {$_}
$a = @{"foo"=1}
$b = @{"bar"=2}
$c = $a + $b
The console output of $c will look identical for both:
Name Value
---- -----
foo 1
bar 2
But the issue is with the data structure. This becomes a problem when we would like to access the data.
Will output $null for the first example and "2" for the 2nd. But why is this?
Lets convert it to json (without piping, this is important) to see:
ConvertTo-Json -InputObject $c
which outputs for the first case:
 "foo": 1
 "bar": 2
and for the 2nd what we originally expected:
 "bar": 2,
 "foo": 1
So now we know that the first one did not join the dictionaries, but warped them into a list. As we originally looked for a solution to join a list of dictionaries, this is not helpful.
(From now on $c is the output from the first example, as it is the same as my original input)
The 2nd one however looks helpful, but has two issues:
 1. It only works if we know how many elements we have (hard coded element count)
 2. It copies the list once for each element we want to add to it.
So let's address these issues:
 1. For the 1st one something like this will do the trick:
 $c | ForEach-Object -Begin {[Hashtable]$aa = @{}} -Process {$aa += $_} -End {$aa} | ConvertTo-Json
 2. But for the 2nd we need something a bit more advanced like
 $c | ForEach-Object -Begin {[Hashtable]$aa = @{}} -Process {foreach($element in ($_.GetEnumerator())) {$aa.Add($element.Key,$element.Value)}} -End {$aa} | ConvertTo-Json

Mountain Tourism Conditions in Bulgaria are Bad
Bad conditions for hiking in the mountains are bad. This was reported by FOCUS News Agency by the Mountain Rescue Service (MRS) to the BRC.
Over the most of the mountains there will be rain. Weather is cloudy and foggy in many places. At Botev peak a hurricane wind blows, in the lower parts the wind is weaker. In some places, a snow cover of about 15-20 cm is formed.
The SCP warns that the rain that is raining now will melt it, but this means that as the temperatures fall in the coming days, ice will form. Exits to the mountain are not recommended except as a last resort.
The lifts will not work until the winter season is discovered. There are no recorded tourist incidents over the past 24 hours.

It represents 'Famine' and Matthew 24:7 is Jesus' parallel of Revelation 6:
Revelation 6:5-6New King James Version (NKJV) Third Seal: Scarcity on Earth5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart[a] of wheat for a denarius,[b] and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."Footnotes:
 1. Revelation 6:6 Greek choinix; that is, approximately one quart
 2. Revelation 6:6 This was approximately one day's wage for a worker.
Matthew 24:7New King James Version (NKJV)
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[a]and earthquakes in various places.Footnotes:
 1. Matthew 24:7 NU-Text omits pestilences.

Do you need a degree for Radiology?
A radiologist will need a medical degree in order to practice in the field. Thus, the educational path to a radiology career begins with a bachelor's degree. Then, the student will need to attend medical school, followed by a medical residency in order to apply the skills the student has learned.
Is Radiography easier than nursing?
Radiology school and nursing school contain technical and scientific subjects and are both demanding schools. Depending on personal inclinations and preferences, one can consider one route easier than the other. Nursing training routes are several and allow a person a faster way to start working.


Wrong number of arguments (Error 450)
The number of arguments to a procedure must match the number of parameters in the procedure's definition. This error has the following causes and solutions:
 - The number of arguments in the call to the procedure wasn't the same as the number of required arguments expected by the procedure.
 Check the argument list in the call against the procedure declaration or definition.
 - You specified an index for a control that isn't part of a control array.
 The index specification is interpreted as an argument but neither an index nor an argument is expected, so the error occurs. Remove the index specification, or follow the procedure for creating a control array. Set the Index property to a nonzero value in the control's property sheet or property window at design time.
 - You tried to assign a value to a read-only property, or you tried to assign a value to a property for which no Property Let procedure exists.
 Assigning a value to a property is the same as passing the value as an argument to the object's Property Let procedure. Properly define the Property Let procedure; it must have one more argument than the corresponding Property Get procedure. If the property is meant to be read-only, you can't assign a value to it.

Efecto de la edad sobre el tamaño de los proteoglicanos del cartílago articular equino
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on proteoglycans size in equine articular cartilage. Cartilage samples were obtained from metacarpophalangeal joints of crossbred equines inmediatelly after slaughter, and alloted in three groups according to the equine's age: 1.5-2 years (n = 7); 4-5 years (n = 6) and over 10 years (n = 4). The cartilage extracts (100 mg /pair joints) were pooled for each age group and fractionated by exclution and ion exchange gel chromatography. Proteoglycan content of each fraction was determined by colorimetric reaction with safranine-O. The elution profile of Sepharose CL-2B, showed that proteoglycans appear as an polydisperse population of different size and similar molecular mass per age group. The size of proteoglycans decreased with age. A similar result was obtained measuring molecular mass and hydrodynamic radio values of proteoglycans when maximal absorbance values of each age group were used. These results show an inverse relationship between age and proteoglycans size of equine articular cartilage, which could affect the cartilage ability to undergo reversible compression.


TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What is the difference between a green olive and a black olive?
One may think that green and black olives are two different fruits (or vegetables?).
First of all, according to the Oxford dictionary, an olive, just like a plum or a cherry, is a fruit. The olive is the small, bitter-tasting fruit of the olive tree, Olea europea. Olives are classified as fruit because they're formed from the ovary of the olive flower, and they're seed-bearing structures—the pits could grow into trees if you planted them. In culinary terms, however, olives are like those other fruit, tomatoes, and are treated as a vegetable.
Green olives are not from a different tree than black olives, they are just picked before they are ripe.

 - Threading behavior and configuration in SI
 My original posting from Friday seems to have vanished, so here it goes again.
 I am trying to find out how to configure the maximum number of threads for the Spring Integration (SI) message-bus.
 Specifically, what is the default number of pooled threads used by the message bus and how do I configure the max number of threads spawned by SI?
 One of our teammates has the following question:
 If you put a hundred messages on a queue (via an SI channel) does SI spawn a hundred threads to process them or do they handle them sequentially or does it create a number of threads up to the default setting and process that way?
 - #2
 You can define a TaskExecutor bean and give it as a reference to the element. If you reuse the same taskExecutor everywhere controlling the number of total threads is trivial.
 To answer you team mate's question: I don't know the exact default from the top of my head. But if you want to can create a TaskExecutor that does it the exact way you like.
 What would be the way you expect SI to behave by default?


How Do I Add User Codes To A VISTA 20P, 21iP, 15P, 10P?
The procedure to add user codes to a Vista 20P, 21iP, 15P and 10P is the same, the difference is the number of user codes each control panel supports.
A master user code is the only code that can create secondary user codes.
Honeywell's factory default master code, which is user 02 on every panel mentioned above, is 1234. The master code can be changed by using the current master code or the installer code (Honeywell's factory default installer code is 4112). To change the master user code enter the existing 4 digit master code, followed by the numbers 8 0 2 plus the new 4 digit master code twice, i.e., [1234] + [8] + [02] + [4321] + [4321]. When you've successfully changed the user code, you will hear a short confirmation beep, letting you know the code has been updated. To use the Installer Code to change the Master Code, once you're outside programming, enter Installer Code+8+02+New 4 digit code, i.e., [4112] + [8] + [02] + [4321]. You will hear a brief confirmation beep once the code is changed.
In addition to the 4 digit user code, a user is assigned a 2 digit user number. The master code user number is 02, the installer code is user 01. Remembering the 2 digit user number is very important if you need to delete a user code.
To delete a secondary code, do the following: [Master Code] + [8] + [User Number] + [#] + [0]. You will receive a short confirmation beep letting you know the code has been deleted.
To add a secondary user code, enter the 4 digit master code followed by the number 8, plus the 2 digit user number (any number from 03 or higher) plus the 4 digit user code, i.e., [1234] + [8] + [03] + [5678]. The system will beep to confirm the user was added.
Each user code can be assigned an authority level. The authority level defines which system functions the user can or cannot do. The master code does not have an authority level. The available levels are as follows:
Level 0 = standard level, users can arm and disarm the system and bypass zones.
Level 1 = arm only - can arm the system but cannot disarm the system.
Level 2 = guest - can arm the system but can only disarm if the system was armed using this code.
Level 3 = duress code - when used the system will disarm normally but will send a silent signal to the central monitoring station informing them of a hostile situation and authorities will be contacted immediately,
Level 4 = Partition Master (Vista 20P, Vista 21iP only). A Partition Master has the same permissions as the System Master, but for their respective partition only. A Partition Master can change itself and any secondary code in its partition, but can not be used to change the System Master (User 02).
When creating a security code, you need to choose a 2 digit user number, a 4 digit user code, assign an authority level to that user, and determine any other attributes that should be assigned to it, such as assigning a keyfob to it.
To assign the authority level attribute - We will show assigning user 03 as a Guest Code (Authority Level 2.) Enter master code followed by the number 8, plus the 2 digit user number, the # sign plus 1 (attribute), plus the authority level, i.e., [1234] + [8] + [03] + [#] + [1] + [2]. You will get a short confirmation beep, letting you know the command has been successfully executed.
User numbers 03 and higher on the Vista 15P, and Vista 10P, and users 04 through 32, and 34 through 49 on the Vista 20P, and the Vista 21iP will automatically be assigned authority Level 0 = standard user, when created. See below for a list of all attributes that can be assigned to user codes.
The Vista 20P and 21iP support a total of 49 user codes.
The Vista 15P supports a total of 33 user codes.
The Vista 10P supports a total of 17 users codes.
The total number of user codes includes the master and installer codes.

An end user can only see the user codes on the system with Total Connect 2.0. If you are unsure what code is programmed to a user slot, you'll need to delete that user code and re-add it to be what you would like it to be.
I understand how to add or delete user codes. My problem is this: Ademco Vista 20p panel. Gave someone a user code, now I want to delete it. But I can't remember what "user number" I assigned to them. For example: 04, 05..ect. Anyone have a solution? Any way to list assigned user numbers?
Thanks Bryce, can anything be done to override this or am I looking at a whole new system?
It could be the fact that it is an ADT system and they probably have done a programming lockout preventing you from making changes to the system.
I have a Vista-10P from ADT, with WA10P-1.6 from 2005 PROM, with a 6160 Keypad, and no matter what I try, I'm unable to change the default ADT installer code. I'm able to get into programming, I enter the new code, but it never accepts it and just gives me a long beep each time. I was only able to change the Master code, but I also cannot program any user codes, I try various _TAG_ (04,05,06,07 etc) and none of them accept or make any sound after I enter in the new code. Could there be some type of system lockout because this is an ADT system that is preventing me from changing the installer code and adding additional users?
Ah yes, that means you switched it to a Partition 2 keypad and you must have had a cancelled alarm that had to be cleared on P2.
I figured it out, I accidentally changed the code for *189 and *190 from 2's to 1's...I imputed the correct numbers and that took care of the issue.
not sure if this helps but here are the few pages from the install guy with what he wrote in the manual... page 45 - 46
Here is what I see....
Try pressing Setup icon (Wrench and screw driver) and then Disp & Audio Setup icon and then your installer code and check if the EN50131 mode is enabled or disabled. If it's enabled, disable it and test again.
forgot the WA Prom.... it is WA20P - 9.18
I agree I should see something like this when after an alarm was triggered, however, this comes up without an alarm having been triggered and only setting the "away" button, and then returning to disarm the alarm. Before I changed the codes, I think I messed up the original programing by going into the console mode on the 6280 and then entering the (installer code) +(800), followed by (*) + (189) (1111) to enable any touchscreen keypads and ended it with (*)99 which programed all the keypads I guess and set something back to default maybe? Whatever I did, it now comes up for the master code as well so I must have changed the global setting for the "away" mode.
What is the 'WA' PROM number on your VISTA control panel? No matter what code you use when disarming after an alarm was triggered, you will see the Alarm Canceled message and need to disarm a second time to clear the "latched alarm" message. This is by design so that if you come home when the siren is going off and you disarm, you don't have to wonder which alarm had been activated. Also, if you disarm without an alarm having been triggered, no matter what code you use, you should not be seeing this message. Can you test another arm/disarm with user 3, without letting an alarm activation occur to see if you get this message?
Hi, I had three codes, the installer code, the master code, and one other that was set to user 03. I have deleted 03 code and created a new 03 code. Now, every time that I use the 03 code to disarm the system, a annoying "control panel message" screen pops up after the alarm turns off and the only way to remove the message is to input the code again and I would like to have this option/ screen pop up turned off. The master code doesn't have this screen pop after I input the disarm code, nor did the code that I deleted. Can anyone help solve this problem? I use the 6280 touch screens to program the Vista system. Please help!!

Target Another Frame
One of the "drawbacks" in using @URLOpen as a hotspot formula is that you can't target another frame or a blank window. Or so you thought... There is a way to do this.
You have to know a little bit about what Domino generates. When you do an @URLOpen("_URL_") as an action hotspot around the word Home then Domino generates the following HTML:
Home
And if you know your HTML, then to have that link targeted to the frame called "Right", here's the HTML you will need:
Home
So, take a look at what Domino generates. Everything between the quotes in your @URLOpen statement is between quotes in the href HTML tag. Basically, here's how it works:
@URLOpen("blah") =
@URLOpen("blah\"") =
@URLOpen("blah\"blah") =
See where this is going? If you want to get to the line where we coded the target parameter, all you have to do is force the href url closed, then add your own target and let Domino close the quote on the target part when it thinks it's closing the quote on the url. For example:
This code:
@URLOpen("_URL_\" target=\"Right")
... will be translated by domino to ...

which is just what we want!!
If you're using the simple action URL link instead of @URLOpen, you can still use this technique. Instead of using a slash quote, just include a quote in the URL name. For example,
_URL_" target="Right

laravel-trend
Installation and setup
You can install the package via composer:
composer require flowframe/laravel-trend
Usage
To generate a trend for your model, import the Flowframe\Trend\Trend class and pass along a model or query.
Example:
// Totals per month
$trend = Trend::model(User::class)
 ->between(
 start: now()->startOfYear(),
 end: now()->endOfYear(),
 )
 ->perMonth()
 ->count();
// Average user weight where name starts with a over a span of 11 years, results are grouped per year
$trend = Trend::query(User::where('name', 'like', 'a%'))
 ->between(
 start: now()->startOfYear()->subYears(10),
 end: now()->endOfYear(),
 )
 ->perYear()
 ->average('weight');
Starting a trend
You must either start a trend using ::model() or ::query(). The difference between the two is that using ::query() allows you to add additional filters, just like you're used to using eloquent. Using ::model() will just consume it as it is.
// Model
Trend::model(Order::class)
 ->between(...)
 ->perDay()
 ->count();
// More specific order query
Trend::query(
 Order::query()
 ->hasBeenPaid()
 ->hasBeenShipped()
)
 ->between(...)
 ->perDay()
 ->count();
Interval
You can use the following aggregates intervals:
 - perMinute()
 - perHour()
 - perDay()
 - perMonth()
 - perYear()
Aggregates
You can use the following aggregates:
 - sum('column')
 - average('column')
 - max('column')
 - min('column')
 - count('*')

CHICAGO – March 3, 2016 – STATS LLC, the world's leading sports technology, data and content company, will have newly appointed Director of Data Science, Patrick Lucey, presenting a paper at the 2016 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Research Track Final.
The paper, written by Felix Wei, Patrick Lucey, Stuart Morgan, Machar Reid and Sridha Sridharan, is a collaboration between STATS newly-formed Data Science Team, the Australian Institute of Sport, Tennis Australia and Queensland University of Technology. The paper will be presented as a finalist in the conference's prestigious Research Paper Competition.
The paper, entitled The Thin Edge of the Wedge: Accurately Predicting Shot Outcomes in Tennis Using Style and Context Priors, aims to discover patterns of player movement and ball striking which are indicative of changing the probability of winning a point. Using optical-tracking data it is possible to form a representation of a player's style, enabling researchers to personalize interactions between players based on match context. This approach facilitates more accurate point prediction and an enhanced understanding of how points are won through the manipulation and exploitation of space on the court.
"In professional sport, there is an enormous amount of tracking data available. This paper showcases some methods we can use to maximize the value of it," said Lucey, Director of Data Science at STATS. "Even though the paper focuses on tennis, similar ideas can be applied across other sports. Considering how much of this data we have at STATS, and the charter of the Data Science Team is to generate new technology using this data, it is a very exciting time."
Each year the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference Research Paper Competition presents exciting insights and fresh perspectives on a wide range of sports. An opportunity to highlight new research in front of an audience of industry decision-makers, the competition is an important platform for contributing to the analytical discourse in professional sports.

Correlation poses a serious threat to many engineered systems because the simultaneous failure of multiple components can dangerously degrade performance. Given the high cost of system failures in business and mission-critical applications, methods to explicitly consider the impact of correlation on system reliability are essential. This paper constructs a stochastic-flow network model to analyze the performance of a computer network, where there exists correlation between the failures of all the physical lines and routers comprising the edges and nodes of the network. That is, we address global-scale events that can cause widespread damage to the performance of the network. We propose a simulation approach to estimate the probability that a given amount of data can be sent from a source to sink through this network. This probability that the network satisfies a specified level of demand is referred to as the system reliability. Experimental results demonstrate that correlation can produce a substantial impact on system reliability. The proposed approach, thus, captures the influence of correlation on system reliability and offers a method to quantify the utility of reducing correlation.

Son preference refers to a general preference by an individual or a group for male offspring over female offspring. Son preference may be evidenced by female infanticide, sperm sorting, or female fetus abortion, or it may simply exist as a psychological preference. Even a psychological preference may have an impact on the lives of offspring: preferred male offspring may be given more and better food, greater access to health care services, or greater access to education, for example.
Son preference is both a historical and a contemporary phenomenon. Historically, evidence of son preference exists for many civilizations, including ancient Greece, Rome, India, China, Japan, Korea, and Europe.

Fine soaps hand crafted in small batches
Soap on a Rope
Making soap on a rope is easy especially if you're making one out of soap scraps. That's right. We're using soap scraps to make soap on a rope either for your personal use or to give to someone else. Soap on a rope is something you can do to make use of those soap scraps instead of just throwing them away or letting it soak in your soap dish. Let's begin making your very first soap on a rope with the following steps.
First, you will need to prepare the materials needed for soap on a rope. These are the soap scraps, warm water, and nylons. You'll need 1 cup full of soap scraps to make soap on a rope. Now that you've gathered all the materials, let's start by breaking up the soap scraps into tiny little pieces. It will be best to use a grater or knife. That's how small it should get. Now, prepare a mixing bowl and place the grated soap scrapes in the bowl. Next, prepare a half cup of warm water. Pour it into the bowl and let it stand for about an hour.
After an hour, start kneading the soap and the water together as if you are kneading dough. Make sure to make it smooth and come up with the consistency of thick dough. If needed, add more warm water as needed. Make sure to add only a little at a time. You can use a tablespoon to make sure you only add little amount of water. If you want to add color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture until the desired color is achieved. Blend well. Now, it's time to shape the mixture into a ball. Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and set the soap on top. It will take at least 24 hours to dry.
Once dry, cut about 12 inches nylon and create a loop around the soap ball. Tie the ends of the nylon above the soap ball. Now, you can hang your soap on a rope in the shower!
